USB Drive Partition

[Fred Flintstone]

What's the best or more reliable program to partitioning USB drives? Since Windows 10 does not allow to do so through Disk Manager, according to a SanDisk forum though.

I’ve done it in disk manager, unless they removed it in a recent update.

How?
My OS is in spanish, but basically there is no option to create a partition.

I think if your run "diskpart" in cmd, then select the usb disk, then run "clean" on that disk, it will erase the partition table and you can go into disk management and it will be Unallocated Space and you can then create multiple partitions

Would you please provide me the exact steps to do that? I am not so familiar with commands and all that

Open Command Prompt (Admin) by pressing Windows Key + X and selecting it from the popup menu. type "diskpart" into the window and press enter. Type "list disk" and press enter. It will show a list of all the disk attached to the computer. Find your USB Drive in the list and type "select disk NUMBER" replacing NUMBER with the number of your USB Drive. Then type clean. Once done you can type exit and then close the Command Prompt. Open Disk Management and then do what you want to do. WARNING: Make sure that you select the correct disk in diskpart because if you mess up, you could completely erase the partition table of the wrong disk which may cause data loss.

Thanks! But I managed to do it through Disk Manager, I deleted the volume and the option to create a new one popped up.
